tantric meditation

Energy-channeling spiritual practice

Tantric meditation is a contemplative practice rooted in Hindu and Buddhist tantra traditions, using visualization, breath work, mantras, and awareness of energy channels in the body.

Unlike meditation aimed at transcending the physical, tantric approaches often embrace bodily experience and sensation as pathways to spiritual insight.

In Western contexts, the term sometimes emphasizes sexual or erotic elements, though traditional practice encompasses far more: She learned tantric meditation at a yoga retreat in India.
